Hello Ian,

It depends on how much logic you need to do when processing input records. SQL*loader has its place in the scheme of things. It is *the* quickest way of getting data into a database. Its data error reporting is horrid. If you explain more about what you are trying to then it may be possible to high-light the limitations of the various methods.
